Air Fryer Bacon Recipe

By learning how to cook this Air Fryer Bacon recipe, you can simplify your breakfast meal prep while still getting perfectly crispy bacon in just 10 minutes! In the air fryer, strips of bacon are roasted from all sides while the fat drips away, leaving them fully cooked and quickly ready to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz. bacon about 45 strips

Instructions

  1. Heat Air Fryer to 350°F.

  2. Place bacon strips on the metal rack in a single layer. If the bacon is too long to fit or you’d like to get wavy pieces, place your pointer finger underneath a section of it to lift it up. Repeat this another time on the same piece of bacon and do this with all strips.
  3. Cook bacon for 9-10 minutes. Cook a minute less if very thin strips or 1-2 minutes more if really thick strips.
  4. Remove bacon from Air Fryer and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Eat immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Storage and Reheating

  • To Store: Cooked bacon may be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • To Freeze: Freeze cooked bacon in a freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months.
  • To Reheat: The best way to reheat bacon is in the air fryer, set to 300°F. Cook it for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Avoid using the microwave, as this will make the bacon soggy and limp.
